Pacific Rim Job

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2013)

Guillermo del Toro, the visionary director of Blade2, Pan's Labrinth and Hellboy has done the impossible. Large Robots...Large Monsters...and I COULD NOT WAIT FOR THIS FILM TO END SO I COULD LEAVE!. How do you screw up a movie with Charlie Hunnan, Charlie Day and Idris Elba? The answer is very simple: You make the movie for you, and not for the audience. This is Del Toro's guilty pleasure...like Tarantino's "Sukyaki Western Django"...this is merely a collection of images and activities that Del Toro put to screen to entertain himself and himself alone. I am sure his preoccupation with Manga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga) fueled this masturbatory CGI exercise. I actually felt as if i'd lost a few I.Q. points after sitting through what could only be referred to as the "Battlefield Earth" of the millennial generation. In closing, let me say that i'd rather do yard work, than sit through this film again.
